I pushed client_min_messages and log_min_messages to debug5, and the
only suspicious message at startup is

LOG:  could not load root cert file "/usr/data/pgsql-7.4/root.crt": No
such file or directory
DETAIL:  Will not verify client certificates.

which shouldn't be a problem (pg_hba.conf is configured to trust).

Any connect attempt will log
DEBUG:  forked new backend, pid=1826 socket=8
DEBUG:  proc_exit(0)
DEBUG:  shmem_exit(0)
DEBUG:  exit(0)
DEBUG:  reaping dead processes
DEBUG:  child process (pid 1826) exited with exit code 0

with the client side message "server does not support SSL, but SSL was
required". OpenSSL is 0.9.6g
